i hadn't seen that post! Impressive, John!

Did the ultra rare triple screen ridge racer found in uk get dumped?

Yes. I bought it.


I tried to post links to the ROMs and some code suggestions (you might like to add it to your C139 branch @Sailorsat), but either I didn't hit post, or it was blocked.

 

Hi ! Thanks for your hard work on this one !

I actually work on your wheel2xinput for Outrun2006Tweaks by Emoose to try to improve the ffb effects.. I explain : this works amazingly well. But in Outrun FXT by Howard Casto, i figured how to optimize the spring effects on the game i i'll love refind this feeling with your stuff.

This is what i do : I try to set up the spring effect you add while the car drifting : in fact, when the car begins to drift we have the vibrations but the spring effect disappears and i will love have the spring effect while drifting (like in the arcade). Well, i spend maybe 5 days to try differents settings with the IL  but with no success  . Do you think you can take a look on your program pls ?

Best Regards

Julo.

I'm not sure if anyone is active here but...

I'm going to try to move my cab to a mini PC.   I tried batocera but the console based controller setup doesn't work well for my cabinet (IPAC2, UltraStiks, Tornado spinner, trackball).  I'm thinking about trying a new frontend (like LaunchBox) but I think I'm going to mess with MaLa first since I always ended up going to back to it.

Anyhoo... How can I tell what I have the MaLa Menu key mapped to?  I haven't had to do anything in the cabinet in many years but I'm pretty sure I remapped the Menu key.

Hi Vampire,

Thank you for your assistance in troubleshooting the issue you encountered with singles-mode sorting.

I'm relieved that the issue was resolved by moving the folder into your VM's local storage, but also grateful that we worked through this, as it revealed a bug with the database creation routines - with network storage, subtle timing differences would possibly cause track numbers to be incorrectly stored into the database, which would not have been apparent to me without investigating the file-name-based method (as opposed to ID3 method).

I've incorporated the fix into the latest (v0.969) codebase, which is due for release very soon now...

Standalone, I only use TP to run linux emulated games

Thanks again man, I don't know what is wrong with just this game now after mmy reinstalled win10.
Tested 3 different versions, one of them the prior fully working.

Maybe I shoudl try the older DS with its plugin, what version would you reccomend if so Sir? This would be the last thing to try I guess

Edit:

Tried DemulShooter_v14.3 with the Unity plugin from that version to the game.
That boots and hooks with MAMEHooker and DS is still running which is odd.
Both guns still controls the crosshairs though. Must be something on my end just for this title I guess.
Thanks for looking into it though! Cheers

Thanks for the answer. I guess I could try another PBX game.
Do you tested on standalone or tp Sir?

I'm sorry for lack of updates and communication. I'll compile all previous versions at the beginning of may.

Sh4 iprove is interesting. Is HBMAME or ARCADE32/64 has this code implemented ?

Thbaks for getting back to me Sir.
I have the newest DS and removed the folder inside the game and reinstalled the plugin.
This is on a new windows but I copied over my old app Data folder from my previous windows in order to sacäve setting in like Spice tools and progress in PC-games and what not. Maybe this is a bad approach and can get you in trouble like this. Don't know if any old DS setting is hidden in there?

DS does not have any setting hidden in anny user folder, it's made to be portable with everything in it's own folder. So AppData from another OS is not the problem.
The issue us very clear, DS does not talk with Point Blank X plugin and crash because it can not handle the protocol.

It's very simple...Unity plugin and DS are talking via TCP.
I had to change the TCP frame format for a lot of reasons in DS 17.0, so any couple like Old Plugin+New DS or Old DS+New Plugin will give exactly the same error you have on your screenshot. And that's pretty much the only possible reason to get that message.

Now, as for why you get it....I can't know :/

I reinstalled a clean dump and installed the plugin using DS 17.2.0.0 but still have the same issue.
Don't know what to do here. Strange as it worked when released. Could it be something with the newer versions of DemulShooter maybe?

I just reinstalled the game on an unused Win11 PC and tested with DS 17.2 downloaded from github, and everything is working perfectly
